KUDREMUKHA NATIONAL PARK

    Kudremukha National park derives its name from the highest hill peak known as the Kudremukha Peak having an altitude of 1892 meters from sea level. It is the queen of many fascinating hill peaks in Karnataka. The name of the peak, meaning horse-face, is descriptive of its appearance seawards, hence it was a well-known mark for navigators of yore. Such an appearance is hardly evident from anywhere on the land surface.

         It is a popular peak and its name has become an acronym for whatever important landmarks that springs up around this place. So are the names Kudremukha town and the Kudremukha National Park born. This industrial-cum-mining township is now tucked into the national park. The park is rosette by a host of holy places such as Dharmasthala, Udupi and Sringeri, best known not only in Karnataka but the whole of South India. It is also studded by a host of places such as Kigga, Valikunja, Narasimhaparvatha, Gangamoola etc, which have mythical leanings. The national park represents the lap of all the places. The tract is replete with fascinating natural beauty. It is clad with thick forests, delightful dales, shining streams and brooks, narrow valleys and glades and abundant iron ore deposits.
